This case has been a PR disaster for Menaka and it gets worse and worse. Now the trial court has just said that the RG Kar Dean is alleged to have committed offences that may attract capital punishment. We all can guess what the court is implying.

Request to LI moderator: entire social media is siding with RGNUL students. Priyanka Gandhi, Shashi Tharoor and many other senior Congress leaders have spoken in favour of the students. Congress leader and HNLU-Harvard alum Avani Bansal even visited the campus and did a vlog on it to support the students. The Punjab Women's Commission Chief has even written to the President. Yet we see comments on LI speaking against the students and they are also getting upvotes. This is very worrying and suspicious. Kindly look into it.

I can tell you what I heard from a senior HC lawyer. Apparently other judges are also reluctant to come. They are worried that Mamata will misuse the podium like last time. The other issue that none of the SC judges really need to cosy up to Mamata. She is a regional politician who not only has zero clout outside Bengal, but is also being opposed by the BJP, Left and Congress simultaneously. So why befriend a friendless politician?

No way will Chandrachud visit Bengal while the Abhaya case and protests are on. The situation is very volatile. If he comes, the local media will report it heavily and will accost him at the venue. Social media will give all sorts of conspiracy theories if Mamata lands up at the venue and meets him (which she will). On top of that, the student protestors will surely land up at NUJS with a petition addressed to him. Other protestors will carry placards, write letters in blood (which they already have) etc etc. It’s too risky for him to come now.

He was the visitor of the RMLNLU before becoming the CJI in Nov. 2022. He (as the Visitor) avoided presiding the Convocation with Chief Minister sharing the dias for six years. After becoming the CJI, he presided over the RML convocation in August 2024 and the CM of UP had to receive him on the gate. But, the Visitor (a Supreme Court judge) did not attend the Convocation in Lucknow.

OMG you guuuuys!! Come on, it's blatantly obvious why DYC is avoiding NUJS !!

1. The SH case: It will look very awkward if he sits next to the very man who students have written to him against.

2. The RG Kar case: There are protests happening in Kolkata every day and another massive protest is planned on Gandhi's birthday. It's too sensitive a time for him to visit. It will also look embarrassing if he sits with Mamata on stage at a time like this.

3. Mamata: She hijacked the platform that the VC gave her last time by making a political speech against Modi. I am sure DYC wants to avoid this from happening again.

All losses are tragic. The media portrayed a false picture. In two of the cases, the incidents occurred at their respective places under their parents' care, so only one case occurred on the campus. The student body and administration have jointly worked to mitigate the implications. NLUD is a resilient community with the best of everything, and I, as an alumnus, am sure it will respond to all situations effectively.

I have in my life never ever seen a college as worse as this UNIV, I wish I had never been a part of this campus. Students, so mean that they talk of extra online classes just because of their Internships even after so much of suicide. The way this useless SBA functions hiding so much of Information and asking Students and Alumni to be "sensitive" while publishing in Media just because they believe they are negotiating with the administration. Undoubtedly, It's a failure. Minutes of the meeting was a pathetic read to have gone by. Arrogancy and Incapability of Admin is just next level. Rarely do they care or even talk. It's just superficial. All bureaucratic, red tapism and protocols. Extremely painful Academic curriculum with super high expectations of faculty members. They are well read people but how do they expect everybody to go into Academia or don't do anything apart from Reading for their subjects. Some Profs randomly fail students and feel proud of it. Admin doesn't do anything on placements and says it to be Students run committee. Absolute politics and abysmal placement statistics. God save the University and the way it is functioning. Just glorifying name on Social Media hiding all the Internal toxicity.

The question is not about specific undeserved promotion. What you're suggesting is that the evaluation system loses its sanctity altogether. If one can appear for examinations over and over again in the same year, then over a period of time, students will stop taking examinations seriously at all. There is already a repeat examination system in place. Going by your logic, why stop at a single special repeat examination? We should keep making the student appear for exams until they secure pass marks. Eventually the faculty are just going to set easy papers and make the person pass regardless of whether they really clear it or not, or else set sub standard papers just to deal with the additional workload. If the reason why someone has failed the first two times is that they haven't learnt enough, then they should go back to the learning board, not simply carry on trying to 'hack the exam'. I don't like exams at all, I would rather have continuous evaluation throughout the sem, but the educational system needs to be radically transformed to implement it effectively. The solution of mental health problems is counseling and understanding, not a pass certificate.

There’s no way out for people unwilling to work. I’m not saying that 15 hours everyday. But for gods sake don’t complain about normal 10:30-7. Things on filings days might spill over beyond this and that’s fine. Top billing teams in other practice areas have it worse than this. You’re paid a decent amount to put your honest foot forward.

I have obtained an internship opportunity with a T3 law firm and also a judicial internship at the HC (one of the Presidency towns); however, the timelines for the same are clashing with one another, and hence I have to prefer one over the other. So, can anyone provide some insight as to which experience would be better for CV value, and which internship should anyone facing the same conundrum prefer? Please do provide some valuable inputs and perspectives! Thanking all of you in advance!

Comments attacking NRI Quota candidates as "rich brats" are really ridiculous. NRI quota candidates are essentially non-EWS general category candidates who may or may or may not be eligible under domicile quota, depending on where they are from. For example, a Chhattisgarh student can become a domicile quota candidate at HNLU but an NRI quota candidate at GNLU. In fact, there is even a girl who made it to NLIU through the MERIT LIST but choose NUJS as an NRI QUOTA candidate for family reasons and she eventually got a scholarship at a top university.

It's really disgraceful to hate on NRI Quota like people here are doing. What do you have to say about caste quota candidates who are children of IAS officers and with very low CLAT scores? How are they any less privileged than an NRI Quota student ?

Let's have a rational debate, please.

Lately, I have realised people here have lots of negatives to talk about. Give them anything and they'll say we don't like this.

Under former VC - Things were as corrupt as things could have been. She didn't even wish to listen. Nobody was allowed to meet her. Seniors Profs used to get their work done.

Now, Classrooms have become better, Programs keep on happening. The office of VC is approachable. Students are able to pursue what they wish to do. Collaborative teaching is a failure. The hike in scores were also because probably few batches complained of 70% thing in MP Judiciary as the crowd is mostly leaned towards Judicial Services. Placements are lagging which is collective failure of Admin, Alumni and some students. The good ones have great CV but the average crowd comes with useless CV because of Sarkari Naukri engrained in their mind due to probably Bihar Culture.

People in general are less exposed but really helpful. Competitive culture is surely lagging which has both positives and negatives. Faculty wise it is a pure mess. God bless earlier Administrators, New recruitment is awaiting the tests. The LRM Prof was extremely horrible due to whom none of the crowd could start writing papers.

Beyond Academics, Its a chill place. I mean even Academics is. You'll have to invest yourself to learn. Approach people to be taught. Seniors are helpful. Juniors are like Friends. Admin should be somehow strict to bring in discipline among students. The way student deviate from anything should not be encouraged at such level.

Compared to a year ago, It is a better place. I believe. I really believe my Batchmates will even have to start Introspection before entirely shifting the blaim.

Every Institution is collective effort of Admin + Students + Alumni.

This article alone sums up the answer

It is with respect to matters incidental to the service provide by an advocate. For example you are a tax lawyer and you are giving advice on investment so that you can get a tax deduction then that service is exempted . However if you are tax lawyer , corporate lawyer or a securities lawyer then you may be In a position to give investment advice.

Don't think it's ever happened before. Mamata Banerjee@NUJS during the Ishwar Bhat protests, SS Chauhan@NLIU during the SS Singh protests, Bommai@NLSIU during the Nandimath protests (during Sudhir's appointment).... NEVER.

I will be interning (virtually) at Dhir & Dhir in the forthcoming months. Can someone kindly elucidate as to the kind of work that are assigned to interns for I intend to gather information with regards to the nature of work given to interns and the end product that is expected out of them by the firm. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

What do the public policy teams of Meta, Google, Netflix and the likes do in India? I don't know if they are the same as their in house teams. What sort of work do they majorly do and if anyone has any ballpark of the pay it'd be helpful. Also, what are the chances of getting in with a PQE of 1 year?

Pune Labour commissioner ruled that EY didn’t have working caps of 48 hrs/week and 9 hrs/day as per Shops and Establishment Act.

Why no such cap in legal industry especially when retainer contracts actually read like employment contracts (even by control supervision test standard) ?

Can we do something about it? Write to ministry? Opposition? Courts?
